<para>With multi-page documents, you might want to provide certain
|
|
information at the top or bottom of each page throughout the document.
|
|
Headers or footers can provide the reader with important information and they tie your
|
|
documents together visually. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Headers and footers are special frames.
|
|
You can edit the text and data within the headers and
|
|
footers just as you would any other text frame. What makes headers and footers
|
|
different from most other frames in &kword; is that they are automatically created at the top and bottom
|
|
of each page.</para>
|
|

<para>You can toggle headers and footers on and off independently at any
|
|
time.</para>

<para>You can toggle the headers by selecting <menuchoice>
|
|
<guimenu>Format</guimenu><guimenuitem>Enable/Disable Document Headers</guimenuitem></menuchoice>

|

<guimenu>Format</guimenu><guimenuitem>Enable/Disable Document Footers</guimenuitem></menuchoice>
|
|
from the menubar.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The footers will be
|
|
added below the margins you set under page setup. The text within the
|
|
main frames will be moved so the headers and/or footers do not overlap
|
|
any text.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Since headers and footers are simply text frames that are placed on each page, you can use all of the
|
|
tools and techniques you are familiar with to create your header and footer information.</para>
